Mayor Adams Faces Bribery and Fraud Indictment
News summary

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on charges of bribery, wire fraud, and illegal campaign contributions, primarily involving Turkish nationals. Despite pleading not guilty and insisting on his innocence, calls for his resignation have surged, including from notable figures like Representatives Jerrold Nadler and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The New York Times editorial board also urged Adams to step down, citing the taint on his administration and the need for someone untainted to govern. However, some editorial boards and business leaders argue he should remain in office to defend himself while continuing to serve. Governor Kathy Hochul holds the power to remove Adams but has not yet decided. Adams faces significant legal battles that could severely impact his mayoral duties and the city's governance.
